“…Similar to what Wiley and Burnette (2019) discovered, these aspects of data management also presented problems to faculty in the current study. Faculty did not necessarily discuss these in the context of help-seeking, likely because one might not even know that problems of this nature exist until they arise.…”

“…Over the past decade, academic libraries have worked to support the growing data management and scholarly communication needs of their campuses in the ever-changing digital world. Research has examined these needs from various perspectives and themes related to scholarly communications practices (Cooper et al 2017;Cooper et al 2019;Dawson 2014;Hendrix 2019), data management and data sharing (Akers & Doty 2013;Berman 2017;Buys & Shaw 2015;Federer et al 2015;Scaramozzino et al 2012;Tenopir et al 2011;Tenopir et al 2015;Wiley & Burnette 2019), and the needs and challenges of researchers (Mohr et al 2015;Monroe-Gulick et al 2017;Nickels & Davis 2020;Scaramozzino et al 2012;Westra 2010) have taken center stage. Most studies have also included questions that encouraged researchers to consider how they worked with their own libraries and whether the library could meet their information or support needs.…”

Investigations on the help-seeking behavior of academic library patrons have to date primarily focused on the undergraduate experience, most often in the context of reference interactions. This study seeks to explore the help-seeking behaviors of a different audience - faculty in the natural and physical sciences at an R2 land-grant university. Eighteen faculty in the natural and physical sciences at the University of Idaho were individually interviewed using an in-depth qualitative interview format and all transcripts were coded and analyzed using an open transcript data visualization tool created at the University of Idaho Library. Responses revealed that faculty are seeking help from colleagues; peers outside the university, via connections formed in graduate school or professional circles; and through DIY solutions like "just googling it," but less often through university resources and programs. Using the results of this project as a starting point, we will explore how libraries might better understand the help-seeking behavior of research faculty, with an eye towards developing services and sources that better meet faculty research needs.

“…The OCLC's RDM service categories were identified by characterizing RDM service components in a review of more than a dozen research libraries in North America, Europe, and Australia, with the goal of "provid[ing] a useful heuristic for visualizing the scope of the RDM service space" [15]. The categories include (1) education services that aim to raise awareness of RDM's importance, instruct researchers in basic RDM skills, and introduce RDM tools and resources; (2) expertise services that offer decision support and customized solutions for RDM problems encountered by researchers; and (3) curation services that provide the technical infrastructure and related services that support RDM throughout the research process.…”

“…In recent decades, the increasing volume of data-driven research and changing funding agency policies for research data management (RDM) have posed significant challenges for researchers who are not well versed in RDM practices and sharing [1,2]. In response, many libraries have expanded their services to address researchers' growing demand for RDM support.…”

Objective: This study investigates research data management (RDM) services using a crosstab framework with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Library as a case study to provide practical considerations for libraries seeking to improve their RDM services.Methods: We conducted semistructured interviews with four librarians who provide data services at the NIH Library regarding library user characteristics, RDM services provided, RDM infrastructure, and collaboration experiences. Through the analysis of interview transcripts, we identified and analyzed the NIH Library’s RDM services according to Online Computer Library Center (OCLC)'s three categories of RDM services and the six stages of the data lifecycle.Results: The findings show that the two models’ crosstab framework can provide an overview of an institution’s current RDM services and identify service gaps. The NIH Library tends to take more responsibility in providing education and expertise services while relying more on information technology departments for curation services. The library provides significant support for data creation, analysis, and sharing stages to meet biomedical researchers’ needs, suggesting areas for potential expansion of RDM services in the less supported stages of data description, storage, and preservation. Based on these findings, we recommend three key considerations for libraries: identify gaps in current services, identify services that can be supported via partnerships, and get regular feedback from users.Conclusion: These findings provide a deeper understanding of RDM support on the basis of RDM service categories and the data lifecycle and promote discussion of issues to be considered for future improvements in RDM services.

“…Studies have introduced the current RDM practices and support needs of biomedical researchers (Federer, Lu, & Joubert, ; Wiley & Burnette, ). A common theme recurring in the literature is that researchers do not have a high level of data literacy skills, about how to organize, describe, process, store or preserve data, which confirms the urgent need for training researchers.…”

This study explored biomedical researchers' Research Data Management (RDM) practices and investigated how institute and professional services support their practices through the RDM processes with a case of NIH. It was found that institutional information technology (IT) and library services are focused on certain stages of RDM processes. Also, it was found that having a close collaboration among service units within an institute is important to maximize their resources for services, reduce duplicated services, and publicize their services to a wider range of users.
